To Set Up A Diskless Client On A Gigabitethernet Network - Sun Microsystems GigabitEthernet FC-AL/P Combination Adapter Installation Manual

To Set Up a Diskless Client on a GigabitEthernet
Network
1. Locate the root directory of the diskless client on the host server.
The root directory of diskless client system is commonly installed in the host
server's /export/root/client_name directory, where client_name is the diskless
client's host name. In this procedure, the root directory will be:
# /export/root/client_name
2. Insert the Solaris Supplement CD into the server's CD-ROM drive.
The CD should automatically mount to the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory. If the CD did
not get mounted to this directory, refer to the Solaris Supplement Sun Hardware
Platform Guide for mounting instructions.
3. Use the pkgadd -R command to install the three GigabitEthernet software
packages to the diskless client's root directory on the server.
You will need to install the SUNWged, SUNWgedm, and the SUNWgedu software
packages to the client's root directory.
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Product
# pkgadd -R /export/root/client_name -d . SUNWged SUNWgedm SUNWgedu
# cd /
Note – The directory paths for these files may change in future operating system
releases. If the commands above do not work correctly, refer to the documentation
that shipped with your version of the operating system.
4. Eject the Solaris Supplement CD from the CD-ROM drive.
5. Create a hostname.genumber file in the diskless client's root directory.
You will need to create an /export/root/client_name/etc/hostname.genumber
file for the GigabitEthernet interface. See "Configuring the Network Host Files" on
page 19 for instructions.
6. Edit the hosts file in the diskless client's root directory.
You will need to edit the /export/root/client_name/etc/hosts file to include the
IP address of the GigabitEthernet interface. See "Configuring the Network Host
Files" on page 19 for instructions.
